It was but they didn't teach us about Latin / Italian / Greek
spellings for obscure plants, it was more about God, Yahweh,
Iseraelites and such likes, what a strange school you must have
attended. :-p
Maybe it's a girls' school thing - you mean you didn't get the
biblical story about Jesus referring to Peter as his 'rock' (or
something like that ...)?

Matt.16.18: ...thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my
church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

Bizarre kind of RE that didn't mention it, or that "Peter" was the
big fisherman's nickname.
